there is a reputable machine shop that is very close to me i think im going to take there because i changed my mind on this once again.

i think im going to fix the motor to stock +longtubes for financial reasons. also i have never been down the track in any car, i am 18 years old. so i would like to put it back together stock and take her down the track a few times and see how i like it. if i get into it ill make more upgrades down the road. i dont want to have 5k in a car that im just going to drive on the street
 
I wouldn't put longtubes on a stock motor. They are just too expensive for what little improvement they provide to a stock motor.

anyone want so second this motion?
i figure why not since the motor will be out? ive heard gains of 15ish rwhp? (i dont wanna sound like a noob that goes by what every magazine/part add says but ive heard long tubes are legit) anyone got dyno #'s?

:notnice: I totally disagree with that statement. Even if the gains were minimal at best right NOW I am sure he is like every other car guy out there and has future plans for the car. But since it has been proven time and time again that long tubes just simply make more power than the stock loggers, it is a GREAT time for him to install them as the motor will be out anyway. 15 horse is 15 horse. In our cars, it doesn't take much to make a nice gain. Plus it will make every other mod he does in the future that much better.

Do the Lt's if you can afford them!
 
Long tubes are good for around 20 hp give or take. At this point the install cost is minimal. I'd recommend them as long as emissions arn't an issue.

install cost will be zero since im doing it myself:nice: but i will have to either modify my x pipe or sell mine and get another :notnice: oh well.

exactly. anyone want to recommend a brand? im really interested in the edelbrock victor series lt's that summit has. ive really liked all the other edelbrock products ive had so that is why i am leaning that way
 
You get what you pay for. I personally think bbk's quality has gone down A LOT in the past years. (compared a friends 351 swap headers from 8-10 years ago with a set I bought last year, wow, the new ones were nasty. Took 2 hours of grinding to clean up the inside welds on the ports). Anyway, headmans seem to be good and I don't know much about the pypes yet.

the headmans look pretty good, but if this thing takes me long enough ill probably give the edelbrocks a try
 
i just cant justify shelling out 900 bucks for headers

Oh I understand completely. But I'll tell you what. When you spend 400 bucks on headers just to realize they are too cheap to seal. And you try to seal them 4 times, each time dropping the K-member, you'll wish you had spent 900 bucks the first time. I would get the quality headers or not do it at all. just my .02

my motor is going to be completely out of the car when i install the headers....

i had a similar problem when installing my new engine there are no grounds on the timing cover. only the one negative battery cable ground that goes to the block and the block to frame ground. my old starter tested good and started with a jump but would draw all my power from my batter. the starter was drawing excess power and replacing it fixed the problem. now it starts but it wont idle sucks for me sorry about the dealership
